[edit] Boundaries

Edmonton constituency within the Middlesex, showing boundaries used from 1918-50.

Generally a good area for Labour since World War II, it was gained narrowly, and surprisingly, by the Conservatives in 1983. They had a much increased majority in 1987 before winning it sparsely in 1992. It has had safe Labour majorities since 1997; this is probably their best area within the London Borough of Enfield.
